Dear CounterSocial, I still haven't been able to figure out how to add friends on Desktop. This is ridiculous. I am a UX Professional and I haven't been able to figure it out yet!
just wanna add to everyone's correct answers that if you're still having issues and a mac user, try using Chrome or Firefox. I don't believe CoSo is officially supported on Safari for now and it can sometimes be a little buggy.
(I keep coso open in chrome with my music and use safari for everything else.)
And welcome!
@razorbunz Thanks! I am using Chrome with Ad Blockers off. The only way to do it is to search and then click Follow. It would be nice if the FAQ mentions... you know... Frequently Asked Questions like this. It talks about the Laden Swallow bit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Cute, but dumb.
@cosmiquemuffin
lol well to be fair the userguide was put together by users of the site to be helpful, not as an "official" document from coso. I'm sure with the influx of folks and things moving faster now, a more comprehensive guide will emerge soon.
Have fun and if you have any more questions, shout em out!
